Serpants hissing round the dime
Constricted notions and assumptions
Come like Perseus 
Cut the head off the beast...

Mortal, Medusa, be,
Stheno, Euryale feed,
Shared immortal breed.

Medusa came calling one day
selling Avon.  What can I say?
To stone I did turn.
“It's so hard to earn
a living,” she cried.  “Rocks can't pay!”...

A serpent saved Eve from a drouth
Medusa just opened her mouth
But snakes in her hair
How did they get their?

After Medusa washes her hair out well.
Too many eager snake eyes watching them.
Down the drain where monsters dwell....

Until I had a different point of view.
Your tiara turned into snakes.
Envenomated my peaceful place.
In turn, I gifted a mirror to you....

Medea to be heard
If only Medusa to afro the snake

In my kitchen no arsenic
but do not step on my toes
as my fangs will deliver the venom...

MEDUSA GOES TO IRELAND

      Medusa had green snakes for hair
      For what, no one recalled
      She sailed and saw Saint Patrick
      And now she’s gone quite bald...

And so I turned away from the world 

I faced myself 

My shadows writhing set in stone 

I saw myself alone 

I stared myself unknown 

In silence to insane 

I retired in self blame...

A bold warrior goddess
Aided Odysseus
As he murdered Trojans
Adjusts Medusa to
A scary Gorgon, FREEZE
Aptly spins perfect web 
Arachne can’t surpass.

As Pegasus arose
From Medusa slain,
So the Phoenix grows
From necessary flame.

Ingest your serpents' venom,
Those lessons learned through pain;
Don't wait for death for heaven,
Through your fire be born again....

In the sand I sleep,
Under the sand she creeps,
gentle dreams of peace I see,
She sense me with glee,
Turning over I see,
Medusa's gaze piercing me,
I took her hand,
went under the sand,
To dream gentle dreams....

Medusa
Mythology of three sisters
Monstrous, snakes coiled as hair
Men who are human are hated
Mortal and beauty is she
Most turned to stone when eye to eye
Murdered by Perseus for her head
Minerva’s punishment

Fishy and Medusa like
moves subtle in piscean flight

Slower than darting eyes
small mammals increase your size

Shady (steak out) waiting
cold smooth incalculable expectant satiating

Mirrors remind her she must live alone
Everything she sees, she turns to stone 
Dismal future she now faces
Ugly snakes upon her head like laces
She is a gorgon, Medusa is her name
Athena punished her, for beauty was her shame...

hard
ly awake

staring into
the bathroom

mirror
but not

able to
move

now wide
eyed awake

i cannot
but keep

from
what

unkempt hair
is this that's there

me standing
as stone

if so
i've

become
my own

Like water hyacinth of lake 
you cannot run away 
from your psyche.

       *

A separation from the 
body was imminent. 
Moon was calling.

        *

The myth was there, 
and summer, the night 
opens like a medusa.

in your valley
looking passed
kneecapped 
mountains

facing the cave
below where
your cyclops
lives

not looking
at your medusa
moaning over 
your siren's song

i am no man
Willy Loman
Everyman but
perhaps

immoral
immortal
importantly
yet it is you

who 
are
multi
faceted...
